With the development of the economy and society all over the world, most metropolitan cities are experiencing elevated concentrations of ground-level air pollutants. It is urgent to predict and evaluate the concentration of air pollutants for some lo...
Ammonia (NH) is considered one of the significant pollutions contributor to indoor air quality and odor gas emission from swine house because of the negative impact on the health of pigs, the workers and local environment. Prediction models could pro...

With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, many developing countries are suffering from heavy air pollution. Governments and citizens have expressed increasing concern regarding air pollution because it affects human health and...
As of November 2014, the Korean Ministry of Environment (KME) has been forecasting the concentration of particulate matter with diameters ≤ 10 μm (PM) classified into four grades: low (PM ≤ 30 μg m), moderate (30 < PM ≤ 80 μg m), high (80 < PM ≤ 150 ...

Neural network (NN) models were evaluated for the prediction of suspended particulates with aerodynamic diameter less than 10-μm (PM10) concentrations. The model evaluation work considered the sequential hourly concentration time series of PM10, whic...
A two-stage biological waste gas treatment system consisting of a first stage biotrickling filter (BTF) and second stage biofilter (BF) was tested for the removal of a gas-phase methanol (M), hydrogen sulphide (HS) and α-pinene (P) mixture. The biore...
